Fair enough indeed, Ray--you've given them a shot.  I myself maligned 
_Cover's_ recording quality a while back, and Keith urged me to 
listen to the vinyl again, forcing a retraction...although I still 
think the drum machine's pretty bad, and I still wonder how Tom was 
recording his voice for those two discs.  I felt compelled to listen 
to _WFTF_ again last night, and to my ear Tom's tone and playing are 
spot on, even if the backing isn't as spirited as TV.

Oh, God, yeah.  It's horrifying.  Of course, we've seen what's 
happened to the Church since then...
